The 414 Years Old Plaridel Church

Plaridel Church or Quingua Church is under the patronage of Saint James the Apostle. This Gorgeous structure is now 414 years old.
The people in this area, with the help of the local government, are
preserving it's historical value. Around 1581 when this church was established. During the British occupation (1762-1763) this
church was the place where the money and jewels of San Agustin in
Intramuros, Manila were kept.

A stone’s throw away from the church is an octagonal chapel locally
known as the Simborio Chapel. Believed to be built in the 1800s, the
chapel may have functioned as a mortuary chapel although its current
location in a residential area is a few meters away from the current
location of the Catholic cemetery. The chapel features pointed arch
windows and semicircular niches on its base. Source: Wikipedia.Org
